For years, I’ve used the excellent collection of online tools at SamSpade.org to diagnose DNS problems, look up domain information, and track down spammers. Unfortunately, for the last year or so the site has often been unreachable and many of its tools are no longer available.
Today, I found what appears to be an excellent replacement. The form-based utilities at DNS Stuff cover a lot of ground — DNS reporting and timing tools, WHOIS, tracert, ping, spam database lookups, and even tools for deobfuscating URLs and decimal IP addresses used by spammers.
If you’re a Net geek, you’ll love this stuff.
